Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning

Everytime I see your face
It makes me sad, it makes me chase
Chase my love across the world
Even though you're not it's taste
Simple, evil, I don't walk alone

Everytime I see your face
It makes me cry, it makes me wait
Waited far too long
And you were over me
But it's ok, cause I know, where you will go, I will go

Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning
Up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning

And if I, if I could go
Back in time
And if I, if I could go
Back in time
I'd go to show, what did I show?
I would not show
The nights and the fights when I came rumbling out the door
Well what was I supposed to do?
Where's a boy supposed to, supposed to go?

Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Up the morning, up, up the morning

General CommentI adore the guitar solos on this one. It's positively hypnotic. Major kudos to Patrick Walden for that.

Generally speaking, I think it's about lost love and better times in the past. More specifically, I'm not really sure, though it feels like there's something more there; perhaps based on personal experience? I think this song is quite underrated. It's beautiful; simple yet powerful, sad with a bit of hope.

General Commentthis breaks my heart. on the documentary "who the fuck is pete doherty" you can see him sing this song acoustic with his band after him and kate sing the ramones song "needles and pins". it's straight up so beautiful.
